Q for Quail

by Mama Baer

____________________

One summer a family of quail

laid their eggs near the garden rail.

The chicks were too small

to hop past the wall.

Dad fashioned a ramp; quite the tale!

Mom had been watching the quail from the kitchen window all spring, and when the chicks hatched, they could not hop up the retaining wall. She had Dad figure out a ramp of sorts with wood. Soon, all the babies could follow their parents to find a wider selection of food.
